Staying healthy: the science, secrets and scams
By Fiona MacDonald
A few weeks ago my friend complained she was struggling to lose weight. “All I eat or drink is Boost Juice three times a day!” she whined. When I explained fruit juice is low in fat but is also full of sugar, she was horrified. It was then I started to wonder if a science degree was necessary just to understand how to take care of our bodies.
Especially when people out there are making these creations!
We generally know not to trust advertising, but when it comes to “healthy” products it’s hard not to get sucked in.
